I have a great giveaway for your from Chavrie cheese! You can win an amazing fall entertaining set worth $100! All you have to do is comment to enter the giveaway. One randomly picked winner will get a beautiful bread board, $50 cooking.com gift certificate, goat cheese coupons and more!

But first, here is a quick and easy goat cheese salad for you. Crisp romaine, soft goat cheese with bits of dried fruit and crystallized ginger, fresh pomegranate seeds…all served with some oil and vinegar on the side. Simple to make, but tastes so gourmet! I love the crystallized ginger with the goat cheese and could eat that all by itself

Place the bread crumbs in a small skillet and toast on low heat till bread crumbs are lightly browned. Turn off heat. Mix goat cheese (make sure its cold) with chopped dried fruit. Take 1 heaping tbsp of the goat cheese mixture. Using your fingers form the goat cheese into a ball and then flatten it into a disc. Gently press the goat cheese disc into the toasted bread crumbs. Make sure all sides are coated. Repeat with the remaining goat cheese and bread crumbs. You should have 3 breaded goat cheese discs.

Place the torn romaine lettuce in a plate. Arrange the goat cheese discs on top. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, salt and pepper. Serve oil and vinegar on the side for dressing the salad.

Cheesy Giveaway Part 2! Win this bread board with dip bowl and much more!

I would love to try this cheese with cranberries.
I think stuffing figs with this cheese and drizzling with some honey would also be a nice appetizer.
Love the bread board. I missed the last give a way…but I’ll keep visiting your site cause your recipes are delish.

We recently tried goat cheese and liked it.. but this is gorgeous!!
I did wonder what would go well with goat cheese and lo! I have my answer, ginger!! I would never have thought of that!
The pom seeds make it look so colorful! Too good!

@Nancy, actually the cheese doesnt get hot. its only the read crumbs that are heated. you only roll the cold cheese in the bread crumbs! i found this easier than breading the ‘proper’ way and its so much easier to work with cold goat cheese! holds its shape!

I just started adding pomegranates to salads recently. I saw one at our local co-op at the check-out counter and decided to give it a whirl….but I couldn’t get the seeds out without them flying all over my kitchen. Oh well, they tasted great once they made it in the salad.

Recently I’ve been loving Boston butter lettuce topped with some arugula and goat cheese and mango. There’s something about the mildness of the butter lettuce combined with the spiciness of the arugula and the creaminess of the cheese. Yum! Thanks for the new recipe ideas!

I never used to be much of a cheese fan. I loved feta, but could pass on everything else… that was until I tried goat cheese! I’m now a total fan, plus it has inspired me to branch out and retry cheeses I had dismissed in the past!

I’m glad I found your site, I’m always trying to cook more vegetarian meals for my fiance and I. I’ve gradually been changing him from a not so healthy diet to a healthy diet and he hasn’t complained once yet There is hope.

You come across to be a very creative person. Good job/info on your blog. I like the how to very much…i am a big promo fan and you did make my life easy

Great find! I was looking for new way to use crystallized ginger…and I love goat cheese!
Can’t wait to try this! Also, removing pomegranate seeds under water is going to make
cleaner work of my Thanksgiving pomegranate salad! Thanks, pictures are great.

Ooh I want to enter! I adore goat cheese. I have a really small grocery budget but sometimes I’ll splurge and buy goat cheese. It’s so soft and yum. Interesting to see another Alana commented — I don’t know many others

goat cheese is one of my favs! will definitely give this a shot for my upcoming wine and cheese parties..and i posted a link to your pom opening for one my recipes that call for pom – great water trick!

This dip looks really good! FYI just because someone is lactose intolerant doesn’t necessarily mean that they cannot eat goat cheese. I am super lactose intolerant of COW’s milk and normal cheeses BUT I can eat goat cheese all I want… and I do!
